Children's Book Proofreading 2

I’ve recently completed a children’s book manuscript of approximately 12,000 words, written in UK English. The book is aimed at readers aged [insert age range, e.g., 7–11], and includes elements of humour, adventure, and talking animals. I’m looking for a professional service to help get the book ready for self-publishing on Amazon KDP and would appreciate a quote for the following: 1. Proofreading (UK English): Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency Light clarity improvements if necessary 2. Formatting & Layout Advice (Optional): Any suggestions for formatting the manuscript for print and ebook platforms (e.g., font, spacing, page breaks) 3. General Feedback (Optional but helpful): A brief overview of any glaring narrative issues or inconsistencies (not a full developmental edit) The manuscript is ready to go in Word format. My budget is around £70–£100, but I’m open to hearing your full package options if you offer other useful services for children’s authors. I would also love to know: Your turnaround time Many thanks in advance, Neil Molyneux Book title is : Charlie and the Bear: The Hole Under the Apple Tree – a light-hearted animal adventure about friendship and curiosity.”
